Breast self-exam
is vital
HOUSTON, TX. - One
out of every 11 women in the
United States develops
breast cancer in her lifetime.
Breast cancer strikes women
most frequently in middle
age and is the leading cause
of death in women age 40 to
44.
Over 90 percent of all
breast cancers are
discovered by women during
breast self-examination.
Most breast lumps are not
cancerous, but only a physi-
cian can make the diagnosis.
Dr. Guy R. Newell, direc-
tor of cancer prevention pro-
grams at The University of
Texas M. D. Anderson
Hospital and Tumor In-
stitute, says, “Breast self-
examination should be per-
formed routinely each
month as part of any good
health maintenance pro-
gram. The earlier a lump is
detected, the better the
prognosis.”

to do breast self-exam-
ination, call the Texas

ment will appear on the
